A 1968 Mustang Project That We Can All Afford To Build

At one time or another, you may have dreamed picking up a 1968 Mustang Fastback as a project car. However, once you started shopping, you probably learned it was a pricy proposition. Now there is a new option that you can pick up for about $15 and finish in a short time — the LEGO Speed Champions 1968 Ford Mustang Fastback.

We worked closely with LEGO to design a vintage Mustang… — Matt Monroe, Ford

“We worked closely with LEGO to design a vintage Mustang, personalizing the fastback with stripes and decals that harken back to Ford’s racing heritage,” Matt Monroe, Ford licensing manager, said. “This 1968 Mustang fastback race car is a special product that adds even more excitement to Ford’s LEGO Speed Champions lineup.”

The result is a 183-piece kit that results in Fastback with a green body topped by over-the-top gold racing stripes and racing decals. Its minifigure racer is clad in vintage racing suit and the set also includes a Ford-logo‘d timing board.

Generations of fans have grown up building LEGO sets and spending time together behind the wheel… — Myra Lind, LEGO

“The new Ford Mustang LEGO Speed Champions set gives parents and children the chance to share their passions – generations of fans have grown up building LEGO sets and spending time together behind the wheel,” Myra Lind, LEGO Speed Champions marketing manager, said. “This partnership of iconic brands allows kids of all ages to enjoy the latest products from two great companies.”

The sets are slated for a March 1 release at $14.99, but if you can’t wait there is one up for sale as a preorder over on eBay right here.

Building the 183-piece kit results in a green and gold 1968 Mustang with racing decals. It has to be one of the easiest race car builds around.
